For Episode 6, I welcome Jordy from Waiting Room Records in Brisbane where there is conversation throughout about the music scene in his town, his record collection, how his store came about and plans for the future.

I play records for the first hour which are exclusively bought from his store.

Then for the second hour, I've asked Jordy to select some of his favourite records from his collection to play and say something about each one.

Liminal Wax Ep. 6 - Waiting Room Records

For Episode 7, listen back to the last hour of myself and Felix playing b2b for the Outerbound party over the weekend just gone, where I think this part perfectly captures the climax of our opening set warming up right before Baldo.

During the 3.5 hour set, we got a chance to play a really fun and memorable set, where we jumped around to a lot of different styles and tempos, with only a few records left in our bags at the end.

I hope you enjoy!

This session was retrospective at the time that I mixed it, a living room session from 2014 - of music we used to play on the Australian East Coast in the 2000s. 

Here's the story:

I was at home one afternoon 2014. I'd had my first baby, and while I'd been mixing some very fresh minimal using Traktor timecode vinyl, I had not mixed from my record bags for a few years. It felt really good to flip through our favourite records once again. This is a collection of just a few of our most special tracks from our early Motion:Theory:Music years - primarily at our 8 year Saturday night residency at Elsewhere on the Gold Coast from the early 2000s, a night which we started as the club opened - created by the incredible Simmy and Benny.  

The club won 'Best Music for a Club in Australia' at the Sydney Bar Music Awards during our time there when Ben was Musical Director. We were told our deep underground vibes could not work on the coast, but we remained true to the sound and never played 'down' to the audience, instead bringing an integrity to their flashing dancefloor, alongside the other residents Audun and Giv.   

I speak of Ben Abrahams, my musical partner, and father of our 2 boys.  He is one of Australia's early East Coast djs, & is much respected among djs & punters; he coined the phrase 'blurring the line between house & techno'.  Around 2000, he became resident of the infamous outdoor party Earthcore, bringing clubby sounds to the forest ravers, primarily used to trance music.  He had a Saturday night and Sunday night residency at Onesixone that went off' all in the days before social media.  

Most of these tracks we have danced to SOOO many times from 1998 through to 2009, so they effect my body memory intensely. Such memories of epic nights dancing for hours and hours and hours with all my friends; we had such authentic connections, so regularly, and then our intimate group moved onto our house to continue djing all of Sunday. I feel so lucky to have experienced that time. The bongos, the dubby basslines, the clubby vibes, the few super scratchy records, all make me get tingly and emotional.  I used to call the tracks I was drawn to play 'sideways house'.   

Ben played 5 hour vinyl sets every Saturday night for this extended period, and his mastery is well known.  Some of these are Ben's records, but became the basis for my set: stored in my record box. Ben is so clever at combining the best of the old with the new, & our appreciation of music is at the core of our connection, as it is with all our friends, old & new.
